Summary of Neurocognitive Disorders

Neurocognitive Disorders Overview

The document provides information on neurocognitive disorders, highlighting the different types of major and mild NCDs with examples of coding and recording procedures. It explains the criteria for major and mild NCDs due to various etiologies such as Alzheimer's disease, traumatic brain injury, substance/medication use, HIV infection, and others. The text also emphasizes the importance of coding based on medical or substance etiology and provides specific coding notes for different scenarios. (Page 12)

Major Neurocognitive Disorders

Major NCDs are categorized based on the severity of cognitive disturbance and the presence of accompanying behavioral or psychological symptoms. Examples include major NCD due to Alzheimer's disease with anxiety, traumatic brain injury with psychotic disturbance and agitation, and unknown etiology with mood symptoms. The document outlines the coding procedures for major NCDs associated with specific medical conditions and highlights the need for accurate coding based on the etiological subtype. (Page 13)

Mild Neurocognitive Disorders

The text also discusses mild NCDs, specifying whether they are due to behavioral disturbance or not. Examples include mild NCD due to Alzheimer's disease without behavioral disturbance, traumatic brain injury with behavioral disturbance, and possible Alzheimer's disease without behavioral disturbance. It explains the coding and recording procedures for mild NCDs, emphasizing the importance of coding based on accompanying behavioral disturbances and the etiological subtype. (Page 14)
